You don't have to be a furry to join.
Just like you don't have to post videos to have an account on youtube. Besides, you don't even need to join to veiw art... I don't need a comment on FA! I just like to spread my vision there.
Fair enough. What I meant was that I don't normally check out sites I'm not active at, (whether it's simply viewing or contributing). For instance, I log onto dA regularly and add everyone I know to my "watch list", that way I'm notified each time anyone submits anything and I'm more likely to check it out. I wasn't trying to hate on you or FA, I didn't mean to come across like that.
You're right about dA being crappy though...about the only way to gain any popularity or notoriety is by making lots and lots of fan art...or emo stuff. More so with the fan-art though. Most users there have absolutely no interest in original art. Anyway, I'm starting to get way off-topic..
I like the coloring so far, keep it up. I personally suck ass at coloring and am even worse about finishing a drawing after messing around with it in a single sitting. Props for that.
